Book Description:
As the
Alpha’s only daughter Shayna Andrews has always been treated like a rare gem,
protected like royalty, and she’s suffocating.
Her longing to be independent has driven her to sneak out one evening
after dinner. After relishing in being able to run free without an escort, she
finds herself face-to-face with the enemy, miles from home, and nearly loses
her life until a lone wolf comes to her aid.
Travis
Hunter’s main objective is to destroy the Onyx Pack—a group of drug using,
murdering rogue shifters. His seek-and-destroy plans are put on hold when he
rescues a female from a brutal attack. The beautifully exotic tiger shifter,
Shayna, stirs a passion he thought died with his long-lost mate.
When Shay’s
first heat cycle slams into her, Travis has no choice but to submit to her
needs—and his own. But there is always a price to sleeping with the Pack
princess. Not only will they have to face her Pack, Shay and Travis will have
to deal with a mating that is beyond a single night and could have consequences
more than either of them had thought. And when Travis finds out Shay wears the
enemy’s brand, things will go from bad to worse.
Warning: One
alpha female who doesn't take no for an answer, a wolf with more on the line
than just his heart, and a combustible attraction that's sure to cause more
than one sweaty night.
Excerpt:
Travis
Hunter’s blood froze in his veins at the piercing female scream that echoed
through the forest. He was moving just as the sharp scent of blood tinted the
crisp mountain air mixed with the rancid smell of the rogue mutants. His night
vision, along with the silver glow of the full moon, allowed him to maneuver
around the trees with ease. Just before reaching the rogues, he took one last
leap and shifted in mid-air, his clothes dissolving in a flash, then replaced
by brown fur. He landed on a human-like rogue and locked his teeth onto the
male’s throat. With a jerk, Travis snapped his spinal cord at the base of his
neck. Dropping the limp body, he turned in time to take the full force of a
mutant as he attacked. They rolled in a tangle of limbs until slamming against
a large rock.
Travis bit
back the pain that rocked through his body. Fury built inside him and called
the internal flame he kept contained since the night his burned his den down.
Heat grew in his cells, consumed him fully until he glowed in a reddish-orange
hue.
The mutant’s
eyes grew round in fear with the knowledge that Travis held the power to call
fire at will. Or, in this case, out of pure rage. Travis snapped his teeth and
growled at the half-wolf, half-man, then slammed his paw into the creature’s
chest and shoved the heat into the mutant. The fire consumed him in a flash of
orange and blue flames.
Travis
whirled away from the screams of the burning male and froze. Several feet away
another male, this one in human form, crouched over the still body of a
female. A low growl escaped from his
throat as he charged. Travis barreled into the large male. He tackled him to
the ground and bit down on the male’s neck, hard enough to break through the
skin and bone.
After throwing the dead male
aside, Travis shifted back to his human form and went to the female. Crouching
down beside her, he pressed two fingers to her throat. Relief washed some of
the rage away when a weak pulse fluttered under his fingers. He scooped her up
in his arms and carried her homeFurious with her adopted father, Shayna Andrews storms out into the forest needing to unwind, only to find herself attacked by rogues who are after her. Travis Hunter already lost his pack to the rogues and when he sees them attacking Shayna, his retaliation is swift, protecting her at the same time.
Time is not on their side though when Shayna begins her first heat cycle causing Travis to help her through, he realizes immediately that she is his true mate and now has to convince the rare white tiger princess that they belong together. As threats increase against Shayna, Travis has to prove to Shayna's family that he is capable of being her mate.
I liked this one, it was interesting with the tiger/were romance. I liked that there is a whole story continuing to develop with rogue wolfs in the midst. Can't wait to read the next one.
